Each of the five members of The Beggermen came to traditional music from very different directions. But it is this variety that incorporates their unique sound into their music. Their sound has a more ‘Stateside approach’ — reflecting back toward the shores of Ireland and reinterpreting the musical heritage of the Isle. The Beggermen strive to remain unique in their sound among the various bands and voices coming to Celtic music.

Between the five members, there are nine instruments represented. It’s no doubt, The Beggermen are out to change the way people listen to Celtic music. And they’re doing it right.
